Background
Transportation Department, is working to advance the U.S. 50/Silva Valley Parkway Interchange - Phase 1 Project (Project), which will include a six-lane overcrossing (four through lanes and two deceleration lanes to the loop on-ramps), new signalized diagonal off-ramps, diagonal on-ramps, and loop on-ramps.  The mainline will be improved to include east and west auxiliary lanes between El Dorado Hills Boulevard and the new interchange.
The Project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).  On June 28, 2011 the Board certified the CEQA Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, approved the Project, and authorized the commencement of the acquisition process for the land rights necessary for the construction and completion of the Project.  
 
On September 17, 2012 the Board of Supervisors provided instructions to the County's negotiator regarding the real property described as APN 121-280-12, owned by Huddinge Partners, a Nevada Limited Partnership.
 
Reason for Recommendation
Negotiations with the property owners are ongoing; however, a settlement concerning just compensation for the necessary real property has not been reached.  The Possession and Use Agreement provides that the County can proceed with construction of the Project, while negotiations continue.  Project construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2013.
 
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
1. The Clerk of the Board will obtain the Chair's signature on the Possession and Use Agreement.
2. The Clerk of the Board will return the executed documents to Transportation for final processing.
